2019 RENAULT CLIO0.9L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding tyre quality. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 34,389 miles passed, the tester identified significant sidewall damage on all four tyres and a heavily perished rear tyre. This reflects a recurring pattern of neglect regarding rubber components, following similar advisories in 2025 and a failure in 2023 involving mismatched tyres. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. The data shows consistent low usage, with only 2,935 miles covered between April 2025 and April 2026. While this low mileage suggests less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it correlates with the age-related degradation seen in the record. The perished and cracked tyres noted in 2026 indicate the car may have sat for long periods, causing the rubber to dry out and fail. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and tyre condition. The 2023 failure noted an offside front tyre wearing on the inner edge, which typically indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Given the recurring history of sidewall damage and uneven wear, the buyer should check for tracking faults and play in the steering components. Additionally, the brake discs should be inspected for corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles that sit frequently develop surface rust on the braking surfaces if not used regularly.
